the National Hotel on the afternoon ot Jan. 0,

A WRITER in the Albany Journal gives cur
rency to a desperately wicked story of the
alleged manner in which Mrs. Cleveland encour-
aged her husband in disheartening attempts at
trout fishing in Saranac Lake. The story credits
her with inducing the President to cast his fly
near the shore where the bushes obscured the
form of an expert trout fisherman who stood
kneedeep in the water with basket of big
trout on bis arm The Presidential hook was
cast a la Antony off the coast of Alexandra,
while Cleopatra gave the fisherman under the
dropping bushes the signal to excite the Presl-
dent by toying with the deceptive fly and finally
impaliug squrming trout 1t is also intimated
that Dan" Lamont and Cronk, the Presidents
faithful guide, conspired with Mrs. Cleveland in

JUDGE DOUGLAS said one day that the first and
last duel ever fought in Illinois was in 1920, at
Belleville, between Alphonso Stewart and VIII
liam Bennett. The aeconds had made it up to be
a sham duel Stewart one of the parties, was
supposed to be in the secret, but Bennett, his
adversary, believed it to be a reality. 1t was
supposed that Bennett somewhat suspected
trick, and after receiving his gun from his
second, rolled a ball into it. At the word fire
Stewart fell MORALLY wounded. Bennett was
indicted, tried, and convicted of murder. A
great effort was made to procure him a pardon,
but Gov. Bond would yield to no entreateS, and
Bennett suffered the extreme penalty of the
law by hanging, in the presence of a great null
titude of people. Judge Douglas gave great
credit to the prosecuting attorney in this case
as having prevented duelllng IN Illinois by
making 1t crime

THE experiences of some of our notable crimi-
nails with their lawyers illustrates the rapacity
! of the legal profession Tweed paid enormous
sums in fees to his various lawyers just after
the Jury on his first trial was impaneled and the
| trial was to begin one of his counsel Edwin V
| StOughtou wrote him that he must have $4,000
as an additional fee or he could not continue in
the case, aud he added that he would wait in
| the law library until Mr.. Tweed sent him q
| check for the fee" Talking of it long after,
| Tweed said with a grim smile, IF the old fool
isn't a liar he's waiting there still" Tweed was
| literally tieeced by lawyers and women, until at
the time of his recapture, he had not money
| enough to pay the lawyer, John d. Townsend
I through whom he proposed TO make his con
fesSion and turn States evidence against every
| body whom he had ever brbed. He gave
| Townsend draft on jay Gould for SIS, 900 as a
| fee, but Gould refused TO pay it, About the
same time one of Tweed IS mstressesw was paying
heavy fees to keep from publication the transfer
of n large amount of rweed's property to her;
but she would pay nothing for Tweed Tweed
actually gave an old love S125;000 to be off and
out OF the country with fleeing compatriot of
his, and the new love, finding this out, demanded
| and obtained an equal, il not q larger sum- from
the old fellow. Townsend has recently begun
SUIT on his own behalf, which will probably lead
to revelation as to where TwCed's property
| went and how the transfers were suppressed in
the Registers office. Townsend's suit has
| several other startling sensations in it, among
others, the facts of blackmailing scheme
